My favorite is Firefox. Why? I don't know.

The first one I ever used was NCSA Mosaic. That one was good because of novelty (hyperlinking and everything). So fast forward a bit and...

I was using internet explorer 6. IE6 sucks. Its rendering engine is molasses slow. So along came Firefox. I downloaded it, installed it, and found that it rendered the pages much faster. So I pretty much stuck with that ever since. They didn't have tabbed browsing in the first version of Firefox I tried (I think). That is one of the features I like best about today's browsers. All of them have it, so there's no need to mention it. I also like the bookmark feature... Again no differences between the browsers there.

Calling all Macintosh users: Yes, I know your system comes with a decent web browser (unlike windows systems). You don't need to brag about it.

Actually, I'm of the opinion that Safari is lame. Not as lame as IE, but still lame.

Firefox is the best in most situations, and I'd say it's my favorite, but I use Opera on Macs because Firefox sadly sucks for them. :( It's great on everything else, though.

Safari is lame compared to many other Mac alternatives for browsers. I've used Safari, Camino, Firefox, Shiira, IE mac ( I wanted to know what it looked like, too bad that right after I installed it it froze), and Opera. Firefox is my favourite, I use Camino though, its better for my mac.

Walrus uses Firefox, because IE looked too gray, and tabs are relevant to my interests.

I prefer Firefox. However, from what I have heard and seen, Firefox 3 will actually look decent on Macs. Now it's just a matter of time before they actually release the darn thing.

It's CATGUN, Sauce. Let him live in his own little world.

Anyway, Firefox. I only ever use IE to access those silly websites that don't work on Firefox, and I rarely ever go to those sorts of sites.

It's up to the user. If they like IE, then they'll use IE. I may not like the browser, but if someone else does then I don't mind too much.

Why I list them like that here's my reason:
1.Ie much faster.
2.Firefox safe but slower than ie.
3.Netscape is fast and much reliable when I am searching for stuff like rpg maker.
4.Firefox is only useful to me when my computer suddenly doesn't have internet connection.
5.each browser to me has it's own use so I list them from the most browser that I use.



Happy?

No. I find Firefox to be equally fast, if not faster, than IE. How is Firefox useful to you when you lack an internet connection?

I've never tried Netscape, though.

I think I can answer. If he's in an unstable connection area and it disconnects, he can still view the pages by pressing Backspace, while most other browsers would reload the page on the press, thereby "losing" the information.

I better answer the question, though.

1) Firefox
2) Lolifox (lol)

Firefox has memory problems when you add extensions. Is that it?
